A Polaroid 104 Land camera, for instant pack film. It's a medium format bellows camera from the early 1960s.

Two snippets for #shittycamerachallenge people.

One, my sister gave me her old Kodak Ezyshare C813. 8.3 megapixels off outdated Kodak goodness.

The other: I discovered this site that sells an adapter for putting 35mm film into a Kodak Instamatic camera.

Here's the #ShittyCamera I'm going to do #ShittyCameraChallenge with.

It's a Zorki 6 made in the USSR some time between 1959 and 1966, with a 50mm Industar-26 lens.

The body finish was replaced by whoever sold it to me with corkboard, which I always intended to lacquer but never got around to.

I'm not sure I've ever run a roll through it, but I'll aim for one per week through December.

This thing is much heavier than it looks.

A picture of the Zorki-6 rangefinder with an orange shutter, a cork body, and a relatively large 50mm lens.  In the background, an analog vacuum tube audio interface and a Pentax K1000 are visible.The back of the Zorki-6 with "Made in USSR" etched in the metal body under the film advance lever.

The joy of a thermal printing camera.

I do not often make gear recommendations to other photographers, but today I will.

If you are an even half-way skilled photographer, go out and get yourself a kiddies thermal printing camera. And a bunch of thermal printer rolls of paper. You'll set yourself back about AUD50.

Don't bother getting a microSD card for it. That's not the point.

The point is the immense freedom and creative challenges that working with a fixed aperture, fixed focus plastic lens that will then print out on a short-lived high-contrast paper will bring.

And it is a freedom being so highly restricted.

It is also freeing to be able to shoot with abandon, not worrying about any sort of post-processing, and not worrying about the cost of the shot.

Think of the joys of pinhole photography, but with the instant gratification of Polaroid, and the costs of digital. The only thing you have control over is your composition.

This ties in very strongly with the Shitty Camera Challenge, but there is a joy in being able to shoot without consequence. You do not ever have to show these to another person (although you might).

#ShittyCameraChallenge #ShittyCamera #Photography #PhotographerLife

Eight black and white photos, all very high contrast. Top row is two landscapes of approximately the same scene, and two of black swans on the water. Bottom row is a portrait, an interior room image, and two of a pair of tall glass vases.
